A charge of disorderly conduct against Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes was dropped Thursday.

Holmes was among hundreds of people arrested as part of a police crackdown on revelers who annually converge on Miami Beach during the Memorial Day weekend.

He had pleaded not guilty to charges that he blocked traffic and refused to obey a police order to move.

Prosecutors dismissed the charge against Holmes, but he was ordered to donate $250 to the police officers assistance trust fund.

Holmes was in Latrobe with the rest of the team at training camp and was not in court Thursday. His attorney said Holmes is glad to get the matter behind him.

Holmes has an Aug. 15 court date in Columbus, Ohio, on an unrelated domestic violence charge involving the mother of one of his children.
